change in motion.
unbalanced force can be in opposite directions or the same direction
When forces are unbalanced
motion is constant
there is no motion
When forces are balanced
balanced forces are equal. unbalanced forces are not equal
100N
75N
75N
75N
4
Multiple Choice
Which of these is evidence that an unbalanced force is acting on an object?
The mass of the object is changing
The object remains at rest.
The motion of the object is changing
The object continues moving in a straight line at constant velocity.
5
When forces are unbalanced, the net force > 0
When forces are balanced the net forces = 0
balanced forces are equal. unbalanced forces are not equal
100N

the Newtons that are going in the SAME DIRECTION
Add
the Newtons that are going in the OPPOSITE DIRECTION
Substract
Remember:
Determine the direction and magnitude of each individual force first
when subtracting, subtract the smaller number from the larger number
7
8
Open Ended
What is the magnitude AND direction of each individual force?
9
Open Ended
Are these forces acting in the same direction or opposite direction?
10
Open Ended
To find the net force, will we add or subtract?
11
Multiple Select
What is the net force (direction and magnitude) on this object?
4N
Left
Right
0N
No direction since the forces are balanced

30N, right
30N, left
5N, left
25N, left
13
Multiple Choice
What is the net force (direction and magnitude) acting on the box?
100N, left

Multiple Choice
The following picture shows forces acting on a sneaker. Suppose that the sneaker is moving toward the spring scale.
Based on evidence in the picture, in which direction is the sum of all the forces (the net force) acting?
The net force is acting in an upward direction.
The net force is acting in a downward direction.
The net force is acting to the left.
The net force is acting to the right.
